Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing
Straight
Also known as hypodermic or needle tubing, this tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. Tubing connects by welding. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools or electrolytic cutting tools (not included).
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance.
